#Boobs for Sale - Boob Whisperer Stories for #BCA & Cancer Survivors

Got boobs, or merely love them, we all have a story to tell. Guest post today by P.S. (aka, Princess) Jones, aka The Boob Whisperer, telling about Boob Stories.

Take it away, Ms. Jones!

Even as a completely heterosexual woman, I have to tell you that I am obsessed with breasts. Big ones, small ones, round ones, flat ones--boobs are amazing. They symbolize womanhood, motherhood, and the feminine mystique. I can’t think of another body part that gets so much attention.

They’re a lot of work, though. They have their own underwear category. You have to know when to show them and know when to downplay them. They can hurt your back if you’ve got the big ones. If you’re breast feeding, you deal with cracks, pains and leaks. And, what about those times that your boobs totally upstage you? As awesome as they are, nobody wants to pause from an intense conversation to find that the other person is staring at her chest and not her mouth.

Boobs can kill you, too.

The absolute worst part about boobs is has to be boob cancer breast cancer. Every year nearly 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. About 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and 1 in 35 will die from it. But, this is just a small number of people hurt by the disease. These women are mothers, sisters, daughters and lovers, and the disease affects the people they love.

These thoughts were on my mind when I came up with the idea for Boob Stories. I was having a conversation with a few friends on Twitter about how every woman has a few stories about what happens inside her bra. Suddenly, I had a plan to ask women to donate stories about their boobs, put it together in a book form and sell it to benefit charity.

BoobStoriesisonsalenow. It features 15 stories about boobs from some very talented writers--including your very own Beverly Diehl. The stories range from inspiration to funny to interesting. Boob Stories costs $5 to download and every penny of the proceeds goes to charity. If you love boobs and you hate breast cancer, it’s the best way to spend your $5 today.

P.S. Jones is a professional copywriter by day and a boob whisperer for charity in her spare time. Her latest project is Boob Stories, a collection of breast inspired anecdotes collected and sold to benefit breast cancer patients and survivors.

IMO, what follows is the best breast cancer PSA evah! Just because you deserve a treat. (Watch through to the very end, you'll love the credits!)

(P.S. if you play for the other team, so to speak, I will be happy to post any
equally entertaining vids featuring ladies rather than gents, just send me a link.)

The Amazon Affiliate Disclaimer Thing

Sometimes when I link to books, CD's, or DVD's on this blog, it goes to Amazon using my affiliate links. This means, should you click though and buy stuff that way, I get a small (very small) commission, which helps to offset my own book addiction.

Sometimes I link to B & N, or GoodReads - it all depends on my mood. If you choose to help keep me neck deep in reading material, I adore you; if you prefer not to (especially if you're supporting a local independent bookstore), I love you dearly anyway. *kisses*
